Strange Brew by John Deering for July 10, 2023

Fewer diplomas would be passed out.

My cats definitely have me trained.

“Dog trainers” spend most of their effort training the “masters”.

I call phony. Real cats would be swiping at those tassels and scratching the heck out of the lectern.

Even the kittens have me trained.

I have a senior cat that meows every morning at daylight to wake me up to be fed. My oldest decided to get up early one morning and take care of that so I could sleep in. (forget what he was in trouble for). When I finally came out of the bedroom my cat looked very disapprovingly at me, turned and flicked her tail before walking off. Did not have anything to do with me until I fed her dinner. Now she is all loving and I am forgiven.

It’s true what they say….we’re the ones trained…lol

Animals are the better trainers, as they are far more consistent and patient in their training methods.

My take on an old saying:

Dogs have masters.

Horses have staff.

Cats have servants.

Even the local stray cats have me trained!

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
